Church Request to Host an Apprentice |
Thank you for your interest in being a host church for the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board’s CRN Apprenticeship Program.
Training those who have been called to ministry is a key part of pastoral development. There's no better place for that training to happen than from inside the local church. Because of a shifting landscape in educational opportunities, the local church’s place in this preparation has risen to match the importance of formal offerings. We believe this program will be a blessing to our partnering churches and those called to serve as an apprentice. Depending upon the number of qualified apprentice applications we receive, we intend to meet the requests of our partnering churches. To best serve you, we ask that you complete this request form.
